A Puritan Catchism
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord's Name
(Psalm 135A)
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord's name!
Praise Him, servants of the Lord,
You that in the Lord's house serve Him,
In God's courtyard standing guard.
Praise the Lord! How good the Lord is!
Sing His name—how sweet its tone!
For the Lord has chosen Jacob,
Israel to be His own.
For I know how great the Lord is;
Our Lord is above all gods.
Yes, the Lord does what He pleases
In the skies, earth, seas, and floods.
He it is who lifts the vapors
From the ends of earth and sea,
Who with lightning brings the rain down,
From His store the wind sets free.
He killed all of Egypt's firstborn;
Egypt, He sent signs to you,
Signs to Pharaoh and his servants.
He struck nations, kings He slew;
Mighty Sihon, Og of Bashan—
All of Canaan's kingdoms fell!
He their land gave to His people,
Willed it all to Israel.
Blest be the Tie
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above
Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers
Our fears our hopes our aims are one
Our comforts and our cares
We share each other's woes
Our mutual burdens bear
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear
When we asunder part
It gives us inward pain
But we shall still be joined in heart
And hope to meet again
This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way
While each in expectation lives
And longs to see the day
From sorrow toil and pain
And sin we shall be free
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity
God is My Shield
(Psalm 7B)
God is my shield, yes, He is my defense,
For He will surely save the right in heart.
A righteous judge, God judges righteously;
The wrath of God is burning every day.
He whets His sword if one does not repent;
He has His bow already strung and bent.
His deadly weapons He has now prepared;
He makes His arrows fiery, deadly shafts.
Look at the man in labor with his sin:
Conceiving evil, he gives birth to lies.
He digs a pit, but falls in it himself;
His vicious plans come down on his own head.
I will give thanks to Him who is the Lord
According to His perfect righteousness;
And I will sing to Him forevermore.
I'll praise His name; He is the LORD Most High.
Scripture Reading
Romans 14
Apostles' Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
His only-begotten Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hades.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and sits
at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He shall come to judge
the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.
Hear the Call of the Kingdom
Hear the call of the kingdom
Lift your eyes to the King
Let His song rise within you
As a fragrant offering
Of how God rich in mercy came in Christ to redeem
All who trust in His unfailing grace
Hear the call of the kingdom
To be children of light
With the mercy of heaven the humility of Christ
Walking justly before Him
Loving all that is right
That the life of Christ may shine through us
King of heaven we will answer the call
We will follow bringing hope to the world
Filled with passion filled with power to proclaim
Salvation in Jesus' name
Hear the call of the kingdom
To reach out to the lost
With the Father's compassion
In the wonder of the cross
Bringing peace and forgiveness
And a hope yet to come
Let the nations put their trust in Him
His Mercy is More
What love could remember no wrongs we have done
Omniscient all knowing He counts not their sum
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore
Our sins they are many His mercy is more
Praise the Lord His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness new every morn
Our sins they are many His mercy is more
What patience would wait as we constantly roam
What Father so tender is calling us home
He welcomes the weakest the vilest the poor
Our sins they are many His mercy is more
What riches of kindness He lavished on us
His blood was the payment His life was the cost
We stood 'neath a debt we could never afford
Our sins they are many His mercy is more
City of God
Awake from your slumber! Arise from your sleep!
A new day is dawning for all those who weep.
The people in darkness have seen a great light.
The Lord of our longing has conquered the night.
Let us build the city of God.
May our tears be turned into dancing!
For the Lord, our light and our love,
has turned the night into day!
We are sons of the morning; we are daughters of day.
The One who has loved us has brightened our way.
The Lord of all kindness has called us to be
a light for his people to set their hearts free.
God is light; in him there is no darkness.
Let us walk in his light, his children, one and all.
O comfort my people; make gentle your words.
Proclaim to my city the day of her birth.
O city of gladness, now lift up your voice.
Proclaim the good tidings that all may rejoice!
Sermon
Acts 1:4-8
We Will Feast in the House of Zion
We will feast in the house of Zion
We will sing with our hearts restored
He has done great things we will say together
We will feast and weep no more
We will not be burned by the fire
He is the Lord our God
We are not consumed by the flood
Upheld protected gathered up
In the dark of night before the dawn
My soul be not afraid
For the promised morning oh how long
Oh God of Jacob be my strength
Every vow we’ve broken and betrayed
You are the faithful one
And from the garden to the grave
Bind us together bring shalom
*Communion at CTK is celebrated weekly. Our practice is to guard/fence the table for the instruction and protection of both our congregation and our visitors. Guests who have spoken to and received approval by an elder will be welcomed by name to the table each week. If you have not met with an elder yet, please remain seated and we look forward to speaking with you after the service.
